Chinese Squawking Chicken Intro for February 3, 2016 Dear Gossips, Tom Brady was born August 3, 1977, the Year of the Snake. Here’s what my ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken advised about Snakes for 2015: “Might not be the best year for personal relationships and, in particular, business relationships could be strained.” Well, there was Deflategate.

Rachel Weisz The Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue 2016 I wrote last week in anticipation of the annual Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue. They revealed the cover yesterday – no Michael B Jordan but that’s because it’s all women. And, unlike past years, when the magazine was criticised for its lack of representation, this time they’ve included three By Lainey • Feb 02, 2016 02:46 pm
Hook Ups Nick Jonas & Kate Hudson’s “beautiful connection” Nick Jonas’s new interview with Complex Magazine. It’s a good read. And, right now, he’s open to making himself a good read, over drinks with the journalist, and not imposing any restrictions on the questions. The writer got a good buzz over a couple of Old Fashioneds By Lainey • Feb 02, 2016 11:52 am
Books Kate Hudson’s Pretty Happy Gwyneth did it. Cameron did it. So, naturally, it’s Kate Hudson’s turn. To write a book, giving you advice on how to love your body. Were you waiting for this? Before you answer, please consider the synopsis from the publisher: “I didn’t just wake up one day By Lainey • Feb 02, 2016 11:20 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Gwyneth’s “California posse” Gwyneth Paltrow is promoting the launch of her GOOP beauty and skincare line. She covers the new issue of Glamour. I prefer the photos inside to the one they used on the cover. That braided pony with the middle part looks great. As do those booties. I’m into the By Lainey • Feb 02, 2016 10:14 am
Chinese Squawking Chicken Intro for February 2, 2016 Dear Gossips, I had two inches taken off my hair this morning. That’s probably not a big deal for you. But for me, haircuts induce paralysis. Bad luck, however, is worse than a haircut. So, ahead of Chinese New Year, it’s time to get rid of the vestiges By Lainey • Feb 02, 2016 09:27 am
Quiveration Charlie in February Good start to the month, non? Especially since Charlie Hunnam doesn’t have anything to promote; he’s not scheduled for official appearances. Here he is yesterday with girlfriend Morgana out shopping in LA. Charlie has been in the headlines though. It was announced recently that he’s been cast By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 02:47 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Julianne’s SAG green It’s puke green. Which is not necessarily a problem if it’s done well but it becomes even more glaringly puke green when…well… This was probably the worst dress of the night for me. Worst is always in relation to the subject’s potential to be best. And By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 01:12 pm
Aging Gorgessity Susan’s SAG breasts Susan Sarandon presented the In Memoriam tribute at the SAGs on Saturday night. She wore a pantsuit with a bra underneath. And some people were pissed. Some people also slagged her for how her tits looked which confuses me because they look great, don’t they look great? Would we By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 12:50 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Demi’s SAG shirt dress I’ll always love a shirt dress. Shirt dresses are typically not tight to the body. And this one, by Zac Posen, is all about the body. I just wish the nude underlay wasn’t there. And I wish she’d done something different with her hair. But I suspect By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 11:54 am
Faux Gossip Naomi & Liev at the SAGs There’s been some noise around Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber lately. I think it’s STAR Magazine that’s been calling a breakup? No one’s paying attention, really, because it’s STAR Magazine. Naomi wasn’t with Liev at the Golden Globes. That, presumably, was why STAR decided By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 11:34 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: January's SAG seafoam If you’ve been reading this blog consistently, you know I’ve been on this for a while: the January Jones style slide. January Jones used to bring it. She used to be AHEAD of it. Even if it what she wore wasn’t my favourite, at least it had By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 11:09 am
SAG Awards 2016 “Let’s all calm down about Leonardo DiCaprio” Two years ago, while hosting the Golden Globes, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler introduced Leonardo DiCaprio like this: Jokes? Of course, of course, OF COURSE. But these are also the two women who hosted Saturday Night Live in December and delivered what’s been the best sketch of the season: By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 10:48 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Saoirse’s SAG pink Pink is tricky. Because it can go either infantile or… well… Saoirse’s pink lace, with that horrible hair, and the earrings, it’s like she’s from the 1950s and her parents are looking to marry her off. This is especially disappointing because we’ve seen before that Saoirse By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 10:18 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Brie’s SAG blue Instant hate. Everything about this dress offends me. Brie Larson is going to win an Oscar. And she’s wearing a dress that’s meant for a Euro billionaire’s yacht girl in Cannes. Then there’s that colour. Maybe the worst colour in fashion. I mean you have to By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 10:05 am
Maple Leaf Ryan Gosling at the SAGs Ryan Gosling did not walk the carpet at the SAGs. He didn’t walk at the Golden Globes either. Don’t be surprised if he doesn’t walk at the Oscars; he was confirmed as a presenter last week. Inevitable next question: Rachel? Ryan and Rachel? They weren’t seated By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 09:39 am
